LAHORE: National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Lahore arrested two over their alleged involvement in Rs 67 million embezzlement, in connivance with ex-Land Acquisition Collector (LAC) Mian Abdul Rauf.
Both the accused, Ghulam Mustafa and Muhammad Naseem, played a role in embezzlement of Rs 67 million, allocated for expansion of Pattoki Chuniyan Road.
